Say It Isn't So (2001)

EW's GRADE
D-

Details Release Date: Aug 21, 2001; Movie Rated: R; Genre: Comedy; With: Heather Graham and Chris Klein; Distributor: 20th Century Fox Film Corporation

Despite the outrage they (purposely) incur, the Farrelly brothers' successes -- gaggingly funny, sick-joke romantic comedies -- don't cause actual brain damage or make viewers despise themselves for poor decision making. That facility belongs to the Farrellys' bombs, none bombier than Say It Isn't So, a mirthless, toneless, strangely dreary affair. The script is so contemptuously lazy, it expects laughs from its subject -- one incest joke that everyone in the movie finds hilarious for way too long -- and from such automatic gut-busters as the words ''Beaver, Oregon.'' Har-dee...oh, never mind.
